Welcome to Mitchell’s Portfolio

Greetings and good day to you. Welcome to my website
portfolio. In lieu of a second semester final, my English teacher has assigned
a website portfolio of my work throughout high school. The portfolio is meant
to represent me and to convey the extent of my creativity, thinking skills and
confidence through examples of my writing. The included pieces are examples of
creative and expository writing, as well as journals on various subjects the
topics of which I very interesting.

Creative Writing

Creative
writing often seems an exercise in futility for me. Even though I pride myself
in my vivid imagination, I acknowledge the fact that I often have trouble
transcribing my thoughts into words and conveying my ideas to other people. The
following works are examples of my favorite poem, short story and letter from a
character’s point of view.

Expository Writing

To me, expository writing is my
forte. I thoroughly enjoy analyzing and dissecting essays, stories, and poems,
although I do not always agree with the timetable set forth for these
assignments. The feeling that I experience with each new revelation is
unmatchable by anything in the academic world. This type of writing compliments
my thought process by allowing me to discover the details of a work and how
they are interrelated to each other and the work as a whole.
